I'll be attending this year's 25th anniversary Sonic the Comic Con in Manchester in June, along with Nigel Kitching, Carl Flint, Ferran Rodriguez and other STC alumni. I'm working on a special Kickstarter reward print, as well as collaborating on a top-secret special project for STC Online!

Death Ingloria - the Wolf Onboard launches on 16th November at New Cross Inn, London, a seven track concept EP accompanied by a 7 page comic strip scripted by Hilary Robinson and drawn by me. I'll be chatting, sketching, signing and selling prints from 2pm onwards. The evening features a live performance of the EP. Details are on Facebook

Out now from Arcturus Press. 60 odd (sometimes very odd) Lovecraftian colouring images featuring favourites such as the Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep etc. Available on Amazon or from bookshops. I should also be getting some copies to sell direct.

I've finally finished the last of 61 pages of art for a Lovecraft-themed colouring book, to be published by Arcturus Publishing. I don't know a publication date yet, or whether I will be allowed to post any teaser art from the book, but fingers crossed I'll be allowed to as I've had a great time doing it.

Three days left to support the Kickstarter for BAYANI AND THE NINE DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON by Travis McIntire with lovely art by Grant Perkins - an all ages comic based on Filipino folklore. They only need another $800 to fund it, so please check it out or SHARE if you know anyone who might be interested. One of the rewards is an exclusive piece of artwork by myself (rough shown)

If you get a moment, please check out the fabulous work of artist Grant Perkins. He's available for paid work and commissions and his unique style will transform any character into something fresh and new. Check out www.facebook.com/thegrantperki… andwww.thegrantperkins.com/ and please share if you know anyone who'd be interested. He'll also be at MCM this weekend so call in to see him if you're there.

I've been touting for suggestions on my Facebook for characters to draw to celebrate when I get to 25000 page views. A couple of oddities which I'll do separately, but it's looking like it's going to be a Sonic-fest featuring (so far) (Sonic Boom) Knuckles, Perci, Antoine, Cedric the Elephant, Grimer, Zachary, Ebony, Pyjamas, Blaze and Rouge.

The Chili book is finally finished. 88 pages of all ages superhero fun - one you can share with the kids or lovers of spicy food. The book will be on sale at the London Super Comicon in February, but is available for pre-order at a substantial discount from publishers Markosia:www.markosia.com/

Enough pre-orders will make sure the book isn't cancelled by Diamond, as has happened to Markosia in the past.

Written by Chris Rodriguez and Chris Campanozzi, with art by Marcelo Salaza, Kal J. Moon and me on colours and letters, everyone involved has worked really hard to make this a great read. More on the book can be seen at:thechili.wordpress.com/

Check it out if you're interested.

I'll be there at the London Super Comicon along with writer Chris Rodriguez signing copies of the book.

I've just been told that I've got the graphic novel project with Walker Books that I was after. It's black and white, 140 or so pages. I'll be doing art and letters. It's part of a horror series adapted from a teenage novel and should be quite a challenge.

I'm very excited (and nervous) about this. I haven't tackled anything quite like this before. I'm not sure what I'll be allowed to post, but I'll put stuff up if I can.

I've just turned in my last ever Spiderman and Friends artwork. Between me, Rik Hoskin on scripts and Lee Carey on occasional linework or pencils, we've notched up 66 consecutive issues - 67 actually because one was completed but never printed (it featured a version of the Super Adaptoid, which mimicked the other heroes' powers, but was rejected because Marvel felt that would confuse the readers). That's over six and a half years' work, my longest run on any single 'strip'.

It could be a surreal experience at times. The character designs with their Popeye forearms and massive feet (even the girls), the fact that Christmas could be alluded to but never mentioned by name (not even a Christmas tree could be shown in later issues and the basic concept of Marvel superheroes as (seemingly parentless) kids building sandcastles and playing in a treehouse.

Weird highlights for me include Doctor Octopus' automatic dog washing machine or his bad hair day, dressing Spidey up as Doctor Strange for Halloween and doing a version of Civil War set in a park.

The prints for Summer of Sonic have arrived and are looking good. There'll be 50 available of the collaboration with Tracy Yardley, 20 of the STC online cover. The price will be £6 each or two prints for £10. If any are left over after the day, I'll put up details of how they can be ordered by post.

You may have read that Disney, having taken over Marvel Comics, has decreed that no originated Marvel product can now be created in Britain. I have worked on every issue of Panini's Spiderman and Friends title (for pre-schoolers) for over five years, but after a few more issues, that will all be over.

The thing that really sucks is that this is not a decision based on sales of the comic, which still seem to be healthy. If it was, I would understand completely, but simply seems to be a heavy-handed way on Disney's part to take control of their new 'empire'.

Spiderman and Friends was a great way to draw very young readers into the world of Marvel and comics in general.

It will be a great blow for Panini UK to lose these Marvel contracts. I hope they manage to survive this.
